A great example of a well-connected person getting what he wants at the expense of the less powerful. How different is this from the following blurb, from page 38 of the 12/21 issue of The Week:
"Salaries in 2008 are forecast to rise a flat 3.9 percent, just slightly above the 3.5 percent annual inflation rate recorded in October. One-time bonuses are making up more of companies' compensation packages, but they mostly go to top executives."
Ordinary people produce value, and the wealthy and well-connected siphon it off. The Kirlins put a human face on it, but on a smaller scale it happens to just about everybody.
